STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford’s Roisin Willis was named Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year by the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The honor adds to the growing list of achievements for the rising senior from Stevens Point, Wisconsin.
On June 14, Willis won the 800 meters at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, in a meet record time of 1:58.13 – the third-fastest in collegiate history. The time also was an ACC record and a personal best.
The victory gave Willis, the 2022 world under-20 800 and 4×400 relay champion, her third NCAA title and first outdoors. Her previous NCAA titles came at the 2023 indoor championships – in the 800 and distance medley relay.
Willis, a history major, is a nine-time All-American with six first-team All-America honors. After her NCAA victory last month, she was named West Region Women’s Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association and was a semifinalist for The Bowerman, collegiate track and field’s Heisman Trophy.
Willis is the fifth from Stanford to be named ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in the Cardinal’s first academic year in the conference. The other Stanford winners are Julietta Camahort (women’s rowing), Maxime Raynaud (men’s basketball), Elia Rubin (women’s volleyball), and Jack Ryan (men’s swimming and diving).
The ACC Outdoor Track and Field Scholar-Athlete awards — the men’s honor went to Miami’s NCAA champion javelin thrower Devoux Deysel – were accompanied by ACC’s All-Academic teams. Twenty-one men and 17 women from Stanford were honored.
The requirements were a 3.25 grade-point average in each of the two most recent quarters and cumulative, and participation in the ACC Championships or the preliminary or championship rounds of NCAA competition.
